A fusion recipe combining the traditional Portuguese stew with South of the Border flare!
Portuguese Fisherman’s Stew is traditionally made with linguisa sausage, cod or tuna,
tomatoes and potatoes. I thought a South of a Border rendition of this nutritious stew
would be a welcome diversion! I have combined cooked heirloom beans grown in
Mexico with sausage, tuna , peppers, cilantro, Mexican oregano and nutritious greens
and vegetables! Though the traditional Fisherman’s Stew is wonderful, my South of the
Border fusion is divine! Enjoy with wild rice, boiled potato or a short pasta. Great on a
rainy day!
